When connection logging is enabled, the Internet daemon logs attempted connections to services.
It also logs connection attempts which fail the security check. This information can be useful
when trying to determine if someone is repeatedly trying to access your system from a particular
remote system (in other words, trying to break into your system). Successful connection
attempts are logged to the syslogd daemon facility at the info log level. Connection attempts
failing the security check are logged at the notice log level. inetd also logs whether the con-
nection logging has been enabled or disabled at the info log level.
DIAGNOSTICS
The following diagnostics are returned by the Internet daemon before it disconnects from the terminal.
An inetd is already running
An attempt was made to start an Internet daemon when one was already running. It is
incorrect to call the Internet daemon a second time without the -c, -k,or-l option.
There is no inetd running
An attempt was made to reconfigure an Internet daemon when none was running.
Inetd not found
This message occurs if inetd is called with
-c and another Internet daemon is running but
cannot be reconfigured. This occurs if the original Internet daemon died without removing its
semaphore.
Next step: Use the
inetd -k command to remove the semaphore left by the previous Internet
daemon; then restart the daemon.
The following diagnostics are logged to the syslogd daemon facility. Unless otherwise indicated, mes-
sages are logged at the error log level.
/etc/inetd.conf: Unusable configuration file
The Internet daemon is unable to access the configuration file /etc/inetd.conf
. The error
message preceding this one specifies the reason for the failure.
/etc/inetd.conf: line
number: error
There is an error on the specified line in
/etc/inetd.conf
. The line in the configuration file
is skipped. This error does not stop the Internet daemon from reading the rest of the file and
configuring itself accordingly.
Next step: Fix the line with the error and reconfigure the Internet daemon by executing the
inetd -c command.
system_call: message
system_call failed. See the corresponding manual entry for a description of system_call. The
reason for the failure is explained in message.
Cannot configure inetd
None of the services/servers listed in the configuration file could be set up properly, due to
configuration file errors.
Too many services (max n)
The number of active services listed in the configuration file exceeds the "hard" limit that can be
supported by the system (see setrlimit(2)).
Next step: Reduce the number of services listed in the configuration file, then reconfigure the
Internet daemon by running the command inetd -c.
file: \ found before end of line line
file can be either inetd.conf or inetd.sec. If a backslash is not immediately followed by
an end of line, it is ignored and the information up to the end of line is accepted. In this case,
the next line of the file is not appended to the end of the current line. Unless all the information
required is present on a single line, configuration file error messages are also output. This mes-
sage is logged at the warning log level.
service/protocol: Unknown service
